12th bushel | SOLACE! ...yes, I know what that means

[There's not much to Elly, it must be said. She's smallish, childish to many faults, with a head full of lush blonde curls and the appearance of a teenager. Her little heart is easily broken, and her confidence is easily shaken

[Nall is still floating around when he notices the girl face down on the ground, whattheheck? He flies over and takes a seat next to her.]

Uhm... are you alright?

[worst_apple]

Mm-hmmm~~ [She protectively cups one hand around the flowers~]

Don't touch them, okay?

[catslooklikeme]

Hmm? [Nall squishes himself down to get a better look, but makes absolutely sure not to touch.]

Oh... flowers? In winter?

[worst_apple]

Mmm-hmm. You have to be careful!

Some things are really persistent, aren't they? They won't die, no matter what. And if you kill them and kill them, they'll still come back.

[Legault very much likes to escape the... we'll say chaos of his assigned home every now and again with walks around town. He doesn't mind the cold much, as he's definitely experienced worse, and occasionally he comes across something interesting. Like today, for example.

Seeing someone seemingly passed out in the snow absolutely qualifies as interesting. He frowns a bit and approaches, kneeling and putting a hand gently - carefully - on her back, just to make sure she's still actually alive.]

...Are you okay?

[worst_apple]

[She comes out of her reverie a bit and jumps slightly, smacking her head a bit on the bench. It's not THAT bad of a hit, but it's enough to make her squeak!]

[nimblehurricane]

[Okay that isn't what he was expecting. He jerks a bit in surprise, but doesn't stand; she may need help if she's hurt herself.]

I'm sorry! I didn't mean to startle you.

[worst_apple]

Ahhhhh.... [She splays a bit on the snow and rubs her head.] What's the big idea, anyway? I'm delicate!

[bridgetroll]

[so moe gonna die

I mean

loom over

IN THE SNOW WHY]

Uh.

[worst_apple]

Ahhhh. [Happiest Elly. OH WAIT I HAVE AN AUDIENCE.]

Please don't touch the flowers~ OH. It's Parsee!

[bridgetroll]

Yeah, it's me. [DOESN'T SOUND HAPPY but then she rarely does. So anyway:]

What flowers?

[worst_apple]

[Beckons~] Look~

[rivercrossed]

Hey!

[ Guess who's rumbling towards Elly now! Protect your flowers... ]

Hey-y-y! Careful, you could get buried, there!

[worst_apple]

[FLOWERS COVERED. PROTECT WITH BODY!]

I'm not gonna get buried!

[rivercrossed]

[ Stops. Nearly trips over her own feet, but she looks down at Elly in protect mode. ]

I thought that too! I don't think it'll happen to you, or anyone anymore, but...

[worst_apple]

W-well... Maybe it'll stop snowing. I want to build a little house for the flowers. Don't they look lonely?

Hey, why don't you help me protect them?

[brbgoing2russia]

[Charlie had been out for a nice run when she came along this. Hello there, not!mom. She leans over Elly a little, trying to see what the heck's going on.]

Uh- ya alright?

[worst_apple]

[W-WILL PEOPLE STOP SNEAKING UP? GOSH!]

N-no-nothing! I'm not--

[She looks~~] Oh. You live in my house.

[brbgoing2russia]

Yup. I'm Charlie, just your average everyday sometimes friendly ginger kid living in your house.

[worst_apple]

Did I tell you? I'm Elly. I'm, ah... I'm from Gensokyo. I'm a youkai, okay, so... so don't be mean to me, or I'll eat you! And when my garden comes back, don't TOUCH it!
